The present invention relates to the wirebound recipients adapted for the storage and transportation of gas, and chiefly to vessels, of this class consisting of a light expanding envelope, optionally corrugated, which is surrounded by longitudinal bindlng wires which are completed (or not) by transverseblndlng wires.

The invention further relates to a particular arrangement for securing the longitudinal binding wires upon suchrecipients or vessels, which latter have the form of a bottle, and are provided with a square base consisting of pressed sheet metal, by which the said bottles filled with gas are prevented from rolling when transported and the bottles will also stand in the vertical position. i

In the securing arrangement according to the invention, the said binding wires, or piano wires, start from the bottom of the bottle, and

are then wound at the top about a ring surrounding the neck of the bottle, returningv thence to the bottom of the bottle adjacent their starting point. The upper ring is which is fitted by friction upon the bottle neck, and whose tapered lower part, flaring outwardly, fits exactly upon the wires at the outer periphery of the ring.

At the bottom of the bottle, the two strands of wire, placed side by side, are pressed against an annular male piece fitting upon' the bottom of the bottle and a two-part female piece cooperating with the male piece and held by a collar provided with bolts and nuts. upon the central part of the base of the bottle which is secured to the male piece by thread- 'ed bolts.

The longitudinal bind ing wires 4 which are preliminarily out (within a=few centimeters) -to their; total length, a-re bent at the top around 'a ring 5 which ismounted on the bottle neck 3 and is rounded atits inner1end-6, having at the outer end a-ta-pered outline 7, which is-downwardly'directed. Its lower face 8 fits upon the bottle,

The loops-of the wire are held by acap e9 which is fitte d' by tightfr iction upon the neck 3 and comprises a-tapered fiange lOcorrespoi-iding to the outline 7 of the ring 8. The said cap carries an external thread at il-lcooperatingwith the 'bottle cap.

At-the lower part of the bottle, 'the 't-wo ends 12 of said wire which are place'dsideby side, are engagedbetween a ring-shaped male piece, 18- in contact with, the. bottom ot-the bottle and grooved externally at 14, and a two-part female piece 15 coinciding with the groove .14 in thesaid male piece, it bein-gheld against-the latter bya pressingcollar 16 made in two pieces whichare-held togetherbythe bolts 17 and the :pinned nuts 8; 'Ihe; ends-1 2 of the wires 4 ;are then bent down against-the lower fa'ce of the unalepiece 13,;andiaremaintained by the central disk 19 of the -base@20 which isjsecured to said male .pie'oe by the threaded 130113 21. 3 v,

'1 1 v .5: The very simpl'earran ement herein de-' scribed will afford great safety,'while'at the same time the weight of the vessel is not unduly increased. The wires 4 are disposed along the vessel or bottle, and are then formed at the ends, each in turn, for the wires must not be formed in advance, if the maximum' resistance is to be obtained.

The present description is given solely as an indication, and is not of a limitative na- For instance, the collar 16 may be elimsemble the two halves of the-female piece'15. I Inayalso add to the lower part of the neck a small spacing ring 3 for the centering of the ring 5, this being necessary in order that all the wires shall operate in the same If any defect in the solidity of the cap 9 is feared, I may press it strongly upon the bottle and hold it in place by interposing between said cap and the valve of the bottle, a suitable concave spring washer which prevents the cap from rising.

Claims:

1. A device for the attaching of the longitudinal binding wires inbound recipients adapted for the storage and transportation of gases and in which the binding wires have a sufficient tension to assure a complete resistance of the walls against an internal pressure, characterized by the fact that the binding wires form a loop around a ring placed on the neck of the vessel and are held at the I two ends, at the lower part of the vessel.

2. A device, as claimed in claim 1, in which the ring, about which the wire is placed, has a rounded inner profile, a lower face fitting on the shape of the bottle, and an outer tapered profile extending downwardly and is held by a cap which is fitted by force on the neck of the vessel and is provided with a tapered flange adapted to fit upon the exterior of the ring.

3. A device for the attaching of the longitudinal binding wires in bound recipients adapted for the storage and transportation of gases, characterized by the fact that the binding wires form a loop around a ring placed on the neck of the vessel and that, at the lower part of the vessel, the two strands of wire placed side by side are pressed between a male piece in the form of a ring in contact with the bottle and provided with an external circular groove and a female piece in two parts adapted to fit into this groove, the same being held by a collar provided with bolts and nuts.

4. A device, as claimed in claim 3, in which the ends of the strands are bent down on the inner face of the male piece and are pressed by the central part of the base of the vessel, which part is secured to the male piece by means of threaded bolts.

In testimony whereof he has signed this specification.
